A Midsummer Night’s Dream Wedding…

A Midsummer Night’s Dream Wedding… was last modified: June 21st, 2015 by Annabel

This completely divine real vintage style wedding feature is all thanks to my lovely friend Bonzie, who just so happened to design a piece of the Brides's wedding day attire (more on that soon) and also just so happened to fall in love with these photographs as much as I did when I first saw them.

This is Bride Heather and she married her Husband Greg in September 2009 at a beautiful ceremony held at her parent's house in Bend, Oregon, USA. I have to admit folks, preparing this feature definitely made me feel a little teary; this wedding is just so beautiful and I hope it inspires you in some way ~ be it the Bride's beautiful style, the decor, the use of the outdoors as a place to celebrate – there are so many things to fill your mind with fabulously creative ideas for your OWN wedding.

"We were inspired by the 1930's Hollywood Production of Midsummer Night's Dream and the Western Frontier, Cowboy style of early Oregon. We met in Oregon originally, and having the wedding there seemed poetic. We both like an eclectic, vintage, rustic look, and we also wanted items that would be re-used as much as possible…"

Bridesmaids Hair Accessories were real orchids and orange fabric flowers made by Heather's friend Ivy and their pretty pearl earrings were another Etsy find from Crush Jewels.

"We used Leaf and Petal in Bend for the bouquets and boutonnieres because we wanted a vintage artistic look. The rest of the flowers we did ourself and ordered bulk flowers from American Floral Distributors Wedding Flowers of America."

"They had a large collection of vintage rings, and it is a small, intimate. They let us pay off the ring as were able, and even brought us a bottle of champagne when we came in to make the final payment"…

Vintage, rustic, shabby chic style wedding decor…

"We made all the decor with the help of friends and family. Glass jars were from a garage sale, votives from a thrift store, paper lanterns from a thrift store and Pier1."

A vintage typewriter helped set the scene for a Guest Book table. How delightful!

Pretty fairy lights added an ambience to the celebrations as the evening closed in…

What a fabulous photograph…

Thank you so much to everyone that has made this real wedding feature possible; to Bride Heather for sending all the information we needed to help inspire our readers, to Anna Spence from Blink Photography for so kindly allowing us to reproduce her gorgeous photographs and to lovely loooooooooooovely Bonzie for tipping me off about this beautiful vintage inspired wedding.
